I edited my profile with My Own Calloused Hands
Music is my profession. I'm a student, a teacher, a performer and composer in that field. I'm in my fourth semester at Marshall University, where I'm pursuing a degree in Music Education. I love all percussion, and I play all the percussion instruments. During school, I live on campus in Huntington, and during breaks I live on 21st Street in Nitro. This is my third year teaching Nitro High School's percussion - I enjoy that job very much. I've been through the trial of my life this past year, but I'm okay now. I finally let God have his way and I'm now enjoying the benefits of being one of His. That doesn't mean I'm not a horrible person, but I'm trying my best to change. God wins, as always.
I used to be a very social person but now I have retreated from that. I don't have time for a lot of the fun things I'd like to do - being a music major is VERY difficult and demanding. I'm not a party-goer, and I absolutely will not have drugs or alcohol. I never liked that stuff and it's not who I am - sobriety is necessary for being a teacher. Even though most of my time is consumed by my study of music, I try my best to make time for my friends and students. My hope is to be a middle or high school band director or college percussion teacher, or a touring drummer in a band. I plan on eventually coming back to Marshall and getting my master's degree in Composition.
I will take a stand for my beliefs. If you're shady, I'm going to question you, and if you're in the wrong, I'll call you out. I don't like smart-mouths or big-mouths - nobody does. I'm extremely crazy about the girls. Girls are wonderful, and beautiful. So treat them right or I swear I will hurt you BAD. As for my faith, God is the one in charge, and you'd best not dispute that. This is the way I think, and the way I go about most things. The Lord has stretched his hand out for you. Accept the his gift, or unfortunately you will suffer for an eternity.
Here's a little glimpse of what I do.
